Love Me…Touch Me…Use Me…

Sang A's new capsule collection, a collaboration with English illustrator and designer Daren Newman has me shivering with anticipation. Made of goat skin leather and illustrated with pen-you will definitely love it, touch it, and use it.


Love Me

Touch Me


Use Me

Dance your heart out

If you are anything like me your purse is not merely an accessory but an extension of you. I keep EVERYTHING in my purse from essentials to things I may not need right now but may need someday. And while I usually have no problems with this, I do find it a pain when I’m doing something active. Such as dancing. I usually take a small clutch or a wristlet. Then I have to deal with the fact I can’t set it down anywhere and walk away. Or I have this small weapon hanging from my wrist.

Amalia Mattaor has come to the rescue with the Dancing Bags. These adorably chic bags strap to your arm to keep your valuables safe while you do whatever it is that gets your blood pumping and your body  moving.

Saturday Stimulation-Lets Hear it for Handbags

I am a handbag ho. Srsly. I adore handbags. I own over 60 in every color and style. I only use about 3, but that is neither here nor there.  I cannot resist the siren’s call of a new handbag. Seeing them in a boutique, leather glistening in the sun streaming through the windows…I am helplessly count in their snare.
Here are a few that have caught my attention and will be mine once I find away to pay for them. :)

What's New in Gigi's Consignment Closet

Only 38 days till Christmas and with so much to do...why not take a minute to relax and do some stress free shopping in my closet. Here are some new lovely's added just for you. Stone Mountain has been a premier maker of fine leather handbags since 1978. This soft as butter gray leather hobo bag is a classic and versatile addition to your wardrobe. I have always been a fan of the tight sexy bombshell pin up cardi's of the 50's & 60's. This lovely item comes for the 70's but is reminiscent of the 60's Mansfield, Monroe era. Soft and fuzzy blending of lambswool & angora. Gathered shoulders add a distinct feminine appeal. My formative years were spent in the 80's. I have always said I would NEVER wear those fashions again unless drugged and out of my mind. lol But this London Fog trench is beginning to change my mind. I haven't seen one like this ever. A black/white houndstooth wool twill shell. Zip out wool blend lining. Caped, belted, shawl collar, long, huge 80s shoulder pads... it has it all. The perfect menswear look. I love the elegant contradiction of this AJ Bari vintage 80s dress. For Lord & Taylor. A structured tailored boned in top with a sheer triple layered chiffon skirt. Beautiful MINT condition 60's cashmere silk lined top coat by Marshall Field. 400 100% virgin cashmere country tweeds. I believe this was a made to order caot when department stores had that feature. A lightweight luxe cashmere with a tweed lining between the silk lining & cashmere for exxtra warmth without the bulk. They really don't make items like this anymore. Get ready to rock the holidays in this NEW bubble mini dress by Design for Laundry. Shimmy gold metallic dance the night away dress. Size 12. Sexy versatile dress by Cache. Size 2 Black jersey stretch shell with silk trim. Perfect for any occasion you need the perfect little black dress. ** Check back soon as I will be offering a HUGE shipping deal for the month of DECEMBER.
